'Really special': Johnston reveals the Celtic moments he'll 'always cherish'

Alistair Johnston says he'll always cherish winning trophies with Celtic at Hampden.

The right-back, who is the subject of reported transfer interest from Serie A giants Internazionale, was recently quizzed on his favourite moments in green and white so far.

Johnston joined Celtic from CF Montreal over two years ago. He settled into life in Glasgow's east end amicably and is a key leader in the Parkhead dressing room.

He was asked about moments at Celtic that he will 'always cherish': "I think there's something really special about lifting a trophy at Hampden," said Johnston (Celtic FC on TikTok).

"I've been lucky enough to do it a couple of times. The moment after, when you go over and celebrate with the crowd, half of Hampden is absolutely buzzing, and the other half is empty, you get to go over and do You'll Never Walk Alone in front of the whole crowd, and we're all interlocked, it's really special.

"You can see how much it means to the club in those kind of moments and how much it means to the fans. Those are the moments I'll really cherish."

Johnston has already won two Scottish League Cups, two Scottish Premierships and two Scottish Cups at Celtic.

The Canadian has captained his side on several occasions this season, and before the close of business in May, he will look to add another few medals to his cabinet as Brendan Rodgers' men seek to complete a domestic treble.

Next up in their hunt for glory is a Scottish Cup quarter-final tie against an in-form Hibernian side at Parkhead this Sunday.
